Here's an excerpt: The Washington DC Examiner editorial on Jan. 11 paints a far less than rosy picture of the alleged socialist utopia in Mass. In fact, they call it “an embarrassing flop.”
Among the problems…
State insurers jacking up rates to twice the national average. The piece says 43 mandatory benefits, which many people didn’t want or need, have driven up costs 56%. Does everyone need invitro fertilization? Do most? Do more than a handful?
Small businesses with more than 10 employees were forced to provide benefits to their employees or be slammed with a tax
Costs of the program came in 85% higher than projected

I join this; Romney needs to go away.
